Sammanfattning
This thesis studies the labor market for the new program Global Systems at Chalmers
University of Technology that will begin fall 2020. Global Systems is a masters
of science in engineering program in systems engineering with an interdisciplinary
perspective. The study was conducted through semi-structured interviews with potential
employers of the Global Systems engineer located in the Gothenburg area.
Various work roles and competences required for the Global Systems engineer was
suggested and discussed such as project experience and problem solving competence.
It was found that organizations especially expect engineers to learn more communication
and cooperation in future educations than they do today. There also seemed
to be a positive perspective towards educating systems engineers as a wide range
of organizations could use this type of specialization. Transcriptions of interviews
conducted are presented in appendix.
